Users of Word 2000/XP/2003

Here for your interest is the way to set up a Calculate Menu Item in Microsoft Word 2000/XP/2003. 

We had such an item in Word 2.0 and used it so much we couldn’t give it up.  Here is how to implement it in the more recent versions…

1. Choose [Tools] and [Customize] and go to the ‘Commands’ tab.
2. Select the category [All Commands]  then scroll to [ToolsCalculate]
3. Click on the [ToolsCalculate] item using the left mouse button and drag it to the desired menu (probably [Tools]) and then to the desired position on the [Tools] list Finally leave in place or adjust the default name (We adjusted it to read: Tools &Calculate)

Now any time you select a column of numbers you can total them by choosing  [Tools] and [Tools Calculate].  .  This will also place the total on the clip board, so your previously cut or copied item is lost but you can now paste in the total anywhere you’d like.
